CHANDELURE

Pokemon have become extremely popular across the world.  Chandelure has been on my daughrer’s “To Do” list for me for months now.  I am finally getting to it because I have 2 customers on Etsy asking for him.  The hardest part of Chandelure are the arms.  I used floral wire in the arms.  This pattern includes the color lists for both Chandelure and Shiny Chandelure.
